Makhmalbaf's pioneering film: criticism on government censorship over cinema
This is an artistically productive film with an agenda that is cleverly concealed thorough symbolic metaphors depicting the censorship surrounding cinema and art production during post revolution Iran. Makhmalbaf uses film archives intertwined with original shootings to create a dance that reflects on the film industry and Iranian governmental oppression on it. Very poetic, hilarious at times, but nevertheless weights a ton.
